You can always cast extra wheels, if the double-loop puts too much wear on the contact wheels.
I've considered a similar belt arrangement for a tube-notching fixture for a belt grinder.
I bought all the bits & pieces (almost said "bits & Bobs, but don't want to offend any Roberts), and have the main frame built.
It's the work table(s) which have stalled me. I want to have one accessory table which the work is clamped to the table, and the table slides on rails -- sort of like a surface grinder. The problem is I want it to be "universal", i.e. tilt in 2 axis. It's getting complicated.
Part of the 'design brief' for my belt grinder is that it is to be laser or water-jet cut from 1/4" plate steel and welded together.
Keep us posted on the urethane casting. I'd be extremely interested in knowing more about that.
